Description: Rather, in the way the Gospel of Matthew brings together Old Testament and early Jewish heritage with an orientation toward the ethical potential of the Christ event, it proves to be one of the main testimonies of New Testament ethics.
Review Quotes:
This book provides an excellent introduction to the major debates in recent Matthean scholarship. More important, this book has the potential to advance understanding of the historical context, theology, and ethics of the Gospel of Matthew in significant ways and even to settle long-standing debates about the relationship of the Matthean community to Judaism and Matthew's view of the torah. All future work on these issues must engage the arguments detailed in this important volume.
